formatted invoice line item report

I am trying to make a report that show invoice line items using a table with
groups. We what the table to fill the page no matter how many line items are
on the invoice. For example the invoice my only have three items on the last
page so the group footer ends up in the middle of the page. The group footer
has the invoice total. How can we place group footer at the bottom of the
last page? Even in the case of a small invoice that only has one page ?I'm going to take a stab at this but I hope someone comes up with a better
way. I could use it myself. Anyway here goes:
Insert a row in your above your totals in the group footer.
Figure out the number of line items that fit on a page.
Make the row height of the just inserted row an expression equal to
(MaxLineItemsPerPage - (LineItemCount MOD MaxLineItemsPerPage)) *
LineItemRowHeight)
This will give you the number of "blank" lines on the last page of the
invoice and make your empty footer row that height to fill in the space. The
expression will get a little more complicated if pages 2 on have more rows
than page 1 (i.e. no invoice header) but I think the calculation can be done.
Let me know if this works...Or if someone comes up with a better way!
